I would. I have the 3x . Without humidity in the air I glass across 600 yard and longer fields with decent accuracy as to what I am looking at. I thought the 4.5x and the 6x come with a weapon mount? Maybe not, I would attach mine to a 22 or 17 and have fun with it if I had the mount. Maybe the biggest deterant would be too close can be hard to see. It has 3 ir settings to adjust.
